To determine how much Amal will spend on school supplies, we need to add the prices of all the items he intends to buy:

  1. Notebook: $2.75
  2. Binder: $3.49
  3. Pack of pencils: $3.55
  4. Pack of pens: $5.75

Now, let's add these amounts together:

\[ 2.75 + 3.49 + 3.55 + 5.75 \]

Calculating step by step:

  1. \(2.75 + 3.49 = 6.24\)
  2. \(6.24 + 3.55 = 9.79\)
  3. \(9.79 + 5.75 = 15.54\)

Thus, Amal will spend a total of $15.54 on school supplies.
